that is correct it needed a little work with carbide rotor file so a tap will start and then tap it with a 5/16 -24 you don't even have to drill it this way I can start at an .080 hole and correct it from there as of to day I have install all the cam bearing 2,3,4 I have drill the oiling hole to 1/8 and I left #1 alone because I'm running the Milidon timing gear drive and I want the extra oil for the oiling of it

I did number 1 and 5 the same way. What I did for the gear drive is to drill a .025 bleed hole in the galley plug on the driver side. Drill and tap for 1/8 pipe plug in the hole of the gear drive cam plate in front of the galley and then Dremel a small slot on the back of the cam plate to channel the oil over to the back of the thrust area.
This way you get oil to the gear drive but leave all five cam bearings restricted to 1/8 and no rocker feed. This makes full priority main oiling to all five main bearings. My driver side galley is still wet for my bushed lifter bores that have .030 bleed holes in them to be able to use some of these new roller lifters that oil directly to the axle.
